You knew I wouldn't goThat's why you threatened meWould I stay?Said I was sick, and I'd be aloneSaid my mind was not my ownI didn't learn...You crawled up on your kneesA victim's pretty-pleaseWould I stay? Would I stay?And I stayed...

(how many more times)How many more timesTill I broke down from that guilty mess?(how many more times)You taught me to hate to love youThat's because you love to hate yourself

I wish it had a happy endLike the fairy tales pretend there can beBut things are not the sameWhen your life love was a game of make-believeYou've got everything you wantBut not everything you needAnd it's true...You receive what you achieve

(how many more times)How many screaming fights, tears of rageUntil it ended?(how many more times)How many more times till I say who I amAnd don't pretend?

(how many more times)How many more timesTill I broke out of that guilty mess?(how many more times)How many more times till I say who I amAnd don't pretend?
